 S', wbo has just returned from Cali forms, gave us a very interesting &C., oOant of the "toom" there. He says
 that although the great excitement in
 Teal estate has somewhat abated, the general condition of business is good. That there seems to be plenty Of mOney in circulation, and that merchants get good prices for tnair nercnand!se. He says tha, prices arc really higher in Los Algele- thsn here m Tucscr. and one has DO ldeG Ct the wonderful changes that have taken place m Sou .hern Cal
 fCFnia iu the last year or two. We ask cd Mir Golischmids what he thought had been the cause of al! this. He said. Advertising. The people in California advertise their country, its climate and resources. They believe in priater'sipk. W by, II tbe people of Southern Arizona would take hall the interest in talking up the country, that the California peo- pie do. We would have our towns. crowd a wlih health seekers aud people look 1ng for investments, ID no time" Have yC1 come bsck to remain uermanentIv-' W asked!

MR. DE MARK, the Egyptian Minister to the United States, now in San Fran cisco, gives as his opinion that the Pan anna canal will be opened by 1890 He says there is DO doubt thst it could be done if De Lesseps employs the neces- ssry workmen and has the necessary funds, The funds would have been forthcoming long ago, had it not been for the jealousy between France scd Germany, the capitalists of the latter country not caring tn invest on account of the continual Expectation of an out break of war. To insure the success oi the enterprise the question of ownership must be settled in the same wsy as Il was in the Suez canal; that sll nations in times of peace or war should have sr entrance and exit for their T-ssels whether of trade or war. T bis neutrality of transit, irrespective of nationality ol political opIdions, IS the only i1-t vsJ to settle question, the smicatle sd justment of which will prove o' suef infinite benefit to, all nations.

IS our discussion of the various pro- ducts pest suited to southern Arizona, the cultivation of sugar cane merits particular attention. While under the slave system it was one of the most re- munerative of industries in Louisiana; II has been some time lsnguishing because Of the dlsorg snizstion of labor, and be cause also, of the division of large plan tations into small farms. To raise the cane for the production of sugar Is d very expensive process, ss the cost of machinery for large refining mills IS enormous. But if the expense IS con siderable, the returns srs double those of any other production. The ribbon cane first imported from Japan produces 47,000 pounds of cane or 1,500 pounds o' raw sugar; there is also yield of about 500 pounds of molasses. While oi course the cultivstinn of sugar cane on the extensive plan of the vast sugar plantations of Louisiana, could not be carried on In Arizona at the present period of sgrIculture. still, the finest snd purest quality of syrups can be made here from amber cane, 8. very little eI- pepse. Ii is p-snted about March or April and after its first appearance is kept free from grass or weeds with hoe and two or three plowings finish the cultivation. About November it is ready to be cut snd hauled to the mill. One mill carried from farm to farm, as tLe cane IS ready to be crushed, will grind 6 wonderful amount. The process just spoken of IS the one used on small farms through the south, and could be suc- cesstulls carried on here. Sugar cane IS essentially tropical or semi-tropicsl plant, and the immense fortune amassed
 by Claus Spreckles in the Sandwich
 Islands Is proof of the wonderful amount of money such sn enterprise can be made to realize 10 su energetic man with & certain amount of capital. But for ArizoDa the production of sugar cane for the manufacture of refined sugar
 will be one of the industries that will
 have to wait until capital convinces itself of the vsst returns of this lucra.
 tive product.

THERE seems to be something radI- cslly wrong in the machinery of .he b. s. Land Office at Washington. The business of the local office here IS con tinually blocked by the ignorance or orIminsl negligence on the part of the officials in the Land Depsrimen: ct Washington to sttend to the official com municstions sent from here. Often questions of great importance arise, which must first be submitted .o the authorities at Washington before they csu be acted upon, and which require great dispatch. Yet the communications are often completely ignored, or the sn- swers are so long ID being returned. that great injury results to innocent and bons fide purchasers of public land.
 Take, for instance, when the special agent of the UDited States reports sd- verselY on 8 mans entry, that the entry man had taken up his pre-emp.ion for the puEposeof speculation, or that he had not made the required amount of i'm provements or in some other way not fulfilled the requirements of the law in the matter of pre-emptIon entrys. The settler receives ID due course of time 6 notice to appear before the Register and Receiver to show cause why his entry should not be cancelled.
 At great expense be goes 10 work to get together his testimony and employ lawyer to defend him in this unexpect- ed difficulty. Then be comes before the Register and Receiver at the proper 1 time and IS quietly informed that " here is no spproprIr;ion for hearing govern msnt contest cases, and he will there fore have to wait" But how loDg. be naturally asks, and be is informed that it depends entirely upon the su- tholties tt Washington. So the poor man goes home. lie doesn't care to improve his place or pu. ID 6 crop pend ing this suit, for he knows not what the result may be. 1t matters not whether he be innocent or guilty of tbe charges brought against him, he should have fair and speedy trial And then at tbe last, when the case comes up for bear ing, he may prove that he was in reality bona fde settler Who IS to refund to him the money be has expended and pay him for the vast trouble be bss been put to? Not the government. This is not the fault of the local officers here, for they are ever ready and uilling to assist all who have business before them, and do much to smooth the rough places for the entrymsn. But as they are tied down by the imprsctIcsblc rules of the Interior Department, and delayed by the criminal negligence of the people in Washington they can do little to reme- dy these evils.

TIE mining industry in Arizona IS losklng up. and Los Angeles will bene- fit thereby. The trade of the Territory Is a very important factor in the com merce of this city. where most Of hsi mining companies and merchants make their purchases instead of in San Frsr- cisco. as formerly. The expenses ol some of these mines run into hundreds of thousands monthly. The Arizont trade gave the first impetus to the for ward march ofLos Angeles, when the Southern Pacific Railroad was opened through the Territory, and 1t still form' h large percentage of the transaotion' of many of our wholesale houses.

Now that all eyes are turned towards
 the west snd people are docking to the
 Pacific Coast from all oyer the world, it
 stands the people of. Arizona ID band to do all in theIr power 10 draw the stream
 of immigration in this direction. Most of the people who are coming west are from the cold and rigorous climates of the New England and Middle States,
 and they come in search Of mild climate
 and cheap farming lands.
 Southern Arizona has more to rec
 commend her to this class ot immigrants
 than any other section of the Pacific
 Coast, for We have the finest climate in the world and thousands upon thou sands Of acres Of unoccupied public lands, which only need the plow-share
 of the farmer to turn into farms, vine yards and orchards. Even now people are reslizing thls and the U. $. Land Offices are becoming crowded with entry men, selecting their homestesds, pre- enptions, iimber-culture and desert land olsims.
 But there are thousands of acres of unoccupied land still remaining. Be- esase the people of Arizona have not taken sufficient interest ip their own
 welfare to advertise their country and its advantages, the people of the east are impressed with the idea that We live in vast desert and have nothing to rec Ommend us but our oscti and centIpedes. Let us rouse ourselves from this leth- argy and by every means in our power, make known the abundance of our're- sources.
 Tucson is city of exceptional sdvan- tages. Situated in the center O; vast mesa lands, the rich, sandy soil of which Is unusually well adapted Co the culti- vstion of fruits; and on the line of the Southern Pacific railroad, at the janc- ton of the Tucson 4 Globe railroad, 1t has every facility for becoming large inland city. II IS the baee of supplies for a number Of thriving mining camps, and through the Tucson Ssmpling Works, drsws a good revenue from tbe mines. When the smelter, which is now partly completed, IS finished it will still further increase business activity iu Tucson and throughout the mining dls- iricts. besides retaining in cur midst the large sums of money which have gone heretofore to outside smeltere.
 The question may be asked, "But how shall we make known our sdvsntsgesf' The reply IS, By advertising" Let the business men club together, and send ont thousands of folders every month. Fill the hotels of tue east, and the west bound trains, with the local papers. Let the City Council and County Board of Supervisors make a monthly sppropris- ton sufficiently large, SO ss to have thou sands of copies of your local papers. containing articles of booming" ten dency. sent all over the east, and dIstrib- uted throughout the hotels of Los An geles, San Francisco snd Oakland.

She has become in the last two years, the city of Arizons, aud it's all owing to the fac, that she advertises, and doesn't "hids her light under l
